He had to make the call on this matter.
"Yuhao, your intentions are good, but this isn't as simple as you think."
Mu En spoke slowly—
"The Yi Jin Jing can indeed turn decay into something miraculous, but it also places extremely high demands on one's comprehension."
"Not only is it difficult for ordinary Soul Masters to even get started, but even if they learn it by chance, they may not be able to go far with it."
"Besides, a man's wealth is his own ruin. If the Sacred Fire Cult recruits people so openly, it could easily invite trouble."
Huo Yuhao blinked.
Huh?
Was the Yi Jin Jing difficult?
He looked at Wang Dong, who shook her head blankly.
Didn't it just come naturally?
Their "why don't they just eat meat?" attitude made Mu En laugh.
"Since you don't believe me, let's test it."
"Shaozhe, arrange for Yuhao's class to serve as the trial group and let him teach them. Yuhao, Wang Dong, how long did it take you two to master the Yi Jin Jing?"
"No idea. We just practiced, and then we knew it," Wang Dong said blankly.
"About half a day. We wasted quite a bit of time traveling through the Star Dou Great Forest back then," Huo Yuhao estimated.
"Fine. You'll teach them for one day." Mu En made the decision. "If half of them can master the Yi Jin Jing, then from now on, you can recruit whoever you want. But if not, you'll have to cooperate with the Academy's arrangements. How about it?"
Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly.
From Mu En's meaning, he also intended to promote the Yi Jin Jing, and most likely within the inner courtyard.
Those were all true geniuses. Even if they didn't have Sister Xiao Tao's 20,000 Luck Value, they should at least have half that, right?
That would be another hefty income!
"Then I'll go make the arrangements," Yan Shaozhe said. "Yuhao, stay and chat with Teacher for a while. Come to the classroom in about half an hour."
"Alright, Senior Brother," Huo Yuhao replied.
"Goodbye, Senior Brother~" Wang Dong waved.
Xian Lin'er and the others also bade their farewells one after another.
Mu En remained behind to guide Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao in their cultivation.
Wang Dong had a solid foundation and was extremely well-grounded.
But Huo Yuhao was more troublesome.
Although Zhuge Lan had been cramming knowledge into him fiercely lately, and his physique had caught up, he was still severely lacking in theoretical knowledge.
"I'll have Shaozhe organize all of that systematically later," Mu En arranged.
Huo Yuhao obediently agreed.
After chatting a little longer,
Mu En's spirits visibly worsened. A limit Douluo was actually yawning.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Huo Yuhao asked with concern.
"I'm old. This body isn't what it used to be." Mu En spoke naturally. "You two go on ahead. This old man will sleep for a while."
His voice gradually lowered, and he had already fallen asleep.
How exhausted must he be?
Wang Dong took out a fur blanket and draped it over Mu En.
Then she and Huo Yuhao quietly left on tiptoe.
"Brother Lan, what's going on with Teacher?" Huo Yuhao asked inwardly.
"His lifespan is running out." Zhuge Lan chuckled. "It's time to choose again. Quite a lot just came in. Do you want to awaken Tian Meng's Mental Power first, or spend 550,000 Luck Value to exchange for a drop of Life Juice and extend Mu En's life by ten years?"
Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched!
He checked his balance: 571,287 Luck Value.
Another brutal either-or choice.
Within the spiritual world,
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm glared furiously at Zhuge Lan.
"Are you sure that number, 550,000, is a coincidence and not deliberate?"
Zhuge Lan was utterly unfazed.
"This Life Juice is produced by the Life God King's true body. It's enough for an ordinary Soul Master to cultivate all the way to Titled Douluo, yet for Mu En, a Rank 99 limit Douluo, it can only extend his life by ten years."
"Tell me, is 550,000 Luck Value expensive or cheap?"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm angrily plunged headfirst into the ground.
Expensive?
Not at all!
If not for Zhuge Lan, there would be no such divine treasure anywhere on this continent.
And Sky Dream Ice Silkworm understood deeply the importance of having someone to rely on.
—If he'd had a teacher like Mu En back then, would Di Tian have dared capture him and gather everyone to suck him dry?
So he transmitted, "Alright, Little Yuhao. Give it to this dying old man first."
"Sorry, Brother Sky Dream. Next time, definitely next time!" Huo Yuhao promised.
That gave Sky Dream Ice Silkworm a little comfort.
Zhuge Lan merely smiled without speaking.
Freshman Class One.
Yan Shaozhe personally oversaw the session. The many students below sat with their eyes closed, circulating their power. Under Spiritual Detection Sharing, they studied the Yi Jin Jing.
Even with this method of teaching, almost like experiencing it firsthand, over ninety percent still failed to enter the door.
Only a scattered few could grasp a trace of insight.
Huo Yuhao took it all in and sighed inwardly.
Teacher really had been right!
He decided to abandon his original idea.
Although Brother Lan could create an ordinary cultivation technique, as Teacher had said, it would draw trouble by standing out too much.
He simply hadn't considered that before.
Now that he understood it, stirring things up anyway would be downright ungrateful.
—If he truly wanted to change the situation, he first needed sufficient strength himself.
Having made his decision,
Huo Yuhao cast aside his distracting thoughts and continued circulating the Yi Jin Jing, treating it as cultivation.
Time slipped by quietly, and the evening dismissal bell rang.
"Alright, wake up."
Yan Shaozhe's words rang in everyone's ears like a demonic voice, pulling them out of meditation without causing them any harm.
"Those who have mastered this technique, stand up."
The tiny Xiao Xiao excitedly raised her hand.
Changed Xiao Xiao's fate, +750 Luck Value!
The others looked at one another. There wasn't a second person.
Yan Shaozhe was slightly surprised. Was the threshold really that high?
But when he considered the effects of the Yi Jin Jing, he understood.
For a cultivation technique capable of changing one's fate so profoundly, if everyone could learn it the moment they got it, this continent truly would descend into chaos.
"Xiao Xiao, stay behind. The rest of you are dismissed." Yan Shaozhe warned, "Remember the confidentiality agreement you signed. If anyone violates it, Shrek Academy will pursue the matter to the end!"
"Yes, Dean Yan!"
The students gradually left. Xiao Xiao bounced over to Huo Yuhao, her smile blooming like a flower.
"Class Monitor!"
"I'm amazing, right?"
"No one else could learn it, but I did!"
"Do you like Xiao Xiao even more now?"
Huo Yuhao looked up at the sky.
Why did it have to be this girl?
There'd be plenty of trouble in the future!
Yan Shaozhe's gaze shifted slightly. Without drawing attention, he glanced at Wang Dong, who was watching the show.
Tsk!
Didn't she know that when a woman pursued a man, there was only a thin veil between them?
If he really got snatched away, it would be too late for her to cry!
No!
He had to help his little junior sister.
Yan Shaozhe looked at Xiao Xiao. Anyone who could comprehend the Yi Jin Jing certainly couldn't have poor aptitude.
"Xiao Xiao, are you willing to become my honorary disciple?"
Xiao Xiao, who had been boldly teasing Huo Yuhao, froze completely!
Huh?
Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Branch, a Titled Douluo!
Wanted to take her as his disciple?
Even if she was only an honorary disciple, it was still an enormous opportunity!
"Really?" Xiao Xiao asked in delighted disbelief. "No! I mean, I'm willing! Xiao Xiao will kowtow to you, Teacher!"
Her short little legs hit the ground, and she gave three loud kowtows—bang, bang, bang.
Yan Shaozhe nodded in satisfaction.
"Then, Xiao Xiao, form a team with your little martial uncle and the others, and participate in the Academy's upcoming elimination rounds."
"Once you enter the inner courtyard through your own strength, you can live with your senior sister at my residence."
After giving a few more instructions,
Yan Shaozhe drifted away. As the dean of the Martial Soul Branch, he was extremely busy.
Xiao Xiao watched her teacher leave, and only then did her emotions calm slightly.
At last, she noticed something was wrong!
Chapter 30: Awaken Electrolux! A Method for Training Mental Power!
Wait!
Without realizing it, the class monitor had become her little martial uncle?
It wasn't exactly some forbidden romance, but their seniority was right there.
